Blogs \ Around the Network #10
Welcome to the MyMedia Around the Network feature! Some of you may remember this as the MyMedia Community Update, and it is essentially the same thing with an emphasis on type of content rather than each site.
This will be published each Monday afternoon/evening to keep you up to date with everything that has happened across MyMedia in the past 7 days. We'll also update you on what is planned for the week ahead.

Guitar Hero 5 Review
A taste
The Guitar Hero series has gone from a humble rhythm title to a house hold name in the span of a few years. People all across the globe have heard of and experienced in some form the phenomenon that is Guitar Hero. While the successful Guitar Hero: World Tour took the series to uncharted territory, the newly released Guitar Hero 5 manages to surpass it in every facet of gameplay.

Funny People Review
A taste
Written & directed by Judd Apatow, and staring Adam Sandler with Seth Rogan sounds like recipe for success. Apatow’s latest offering was always going to struggle to live up to the high expectations set by his previous work. The 40-Year-Old Virgin and Knocked Up are great examples of the perfect balance between comedy and drama, but is has Judd nailed three from three with Funny People?

Up Review
A taste
Up is a delightful fusion of childhood fantasy, adult humour and stunning animation. Bringing together a story for the ages and several memorable characters - as well as near-perfect direction by Pete Docter - Up is one of Pixar’s more mature films, one that will appeal to young children and adults alike.

Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter Preview
A Taste
After a successful appearance on the DS, Drawn to Life is finally coming to the Wii. Questions were asked as to why a version wasn’t originally made for the console considering its control waggling abilities and gamer demographic. The idea seemed like a match made in heaven, and when Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter was announced, it was met with plenty of excitement and hype.

Terminator Retrospective
About:
After having directed the infamously bad Piranha II: The Spawning, nobody thought that writer and director James Cameron would go on to be one of Hollywood's most creative (and profitable) minds. His vision of an apocalyptic world being overrun by a race of mysterious beingsd with red eyes would soon become one of the most iconic sci-fi franchises of all time, spanning four major motion pictures, a television series and countless different forms of merchandise.
Come with us as we survey the world that Cameron created. That is, whatever of the world is left!

there are three gay guys in my class - they really know what looks good! i'd take them shopping with me before i took my friends.
you reacted well - especially compared to a lot of people who, i am told, just rant on about how it goes against nature etc.

Well in the immortal words of Seinfield, all I can say is "not that there is anything wrong with it" And as for having a similar experience, I can say that in year 12 one of my best freinds told me he was gay. Man that freaked me out, you just can't help it but i think i took it pretty well, I acted as if it didn't bother me at all and remained his friend. But man that really freaked me out at the time.
